Adjunction of roots to nilpotent groups
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 May 2009
Extract
For any nilpotent group B of class c and any given element h of B generating the subgroup H, Wiegold [1] has shown that if, in addition, [B, H] has exponent pr for some prime p and integer r, then B can be embedded in a nilpotent group G such that G also contains psth root for h(s ≧ 1). In fact, Wiegold has gone further and calculated an upper bound for the class of G in terms of the variables c, p, r, s.
